ABOUT ME

In 2016 I decided to make my long-time interest in web development and content management systems official by enrolling in graduate school. After years of self-taught shenanigans, it was time to do something about my technical education.

I’m passionate about design-driven technology. Sketches and diagrams are my love language. I enjoy coding and pondering user-experience narratives.

I am currently seeking a full-time position that gives me the opportunity to code as a primary part of my job. I enjoy an environment that encourages frequent collaboration and interaction with one's peers but provides plenty of time to work alone as well. I'm goal-oriented, and I enjoy getting things done.

RECENT PROJECTS

Hangman of Dodge City | Github Repository

This project was done for my Advanced Web Programming Class at Amarillo College. I redesigned the user-interface and created Javascript files that talked to our Python files. I also created Python files as needed.


Hangman of Dodge City is an online game made using flask, javascript and python.

The game is a traditional hangman game. The program randomly serves up a set of blank spaces and then the user tries to guess the letters that will create the word. Players can also access a hint for the word if they are willing to take a penalty with their score.

This was a group project. My role was to create the user interface design and create javascript code that passed scoring information to the python files. I also created several python files and modified the SQL as needed.

The site also contained a series of admin pages that performed various CRUD tasks. The main challenge was writing the high score to the database

COVID-19 Visualization Project | Github Repository

This visualization projects tracks COVID-19 and the Financial Markets in the early days of the pandemic
